From the results of Table No. 4.78, it is observed that,
1. The relationship between academic achievement with
general mental alertness of unaided prospective teachers is
found to be positive and significant (r=0.5813, p<0.05) at
0.05% level of significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is

353
From the results of Table No. 4.79, it is observed that,
1. The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)
on academic achievement of prospective teachers are found to
be positive and significant at 0.05% level of significance
indicating that the general mental alertness (X1), interest in
teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3) and attitude towards
teaching profession (X4) are impacting or influencing
positively on academic achievement of prospective teachers.
2. The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of
prospective teachers is found to be positive and not significant
at 0.05% level of significance.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of prospective teachers (Y) in terms of
general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),
emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:
Academic achievement =
20.4181+0.208X1+0.4596X2+0.0910X3+0.1550X4+0.0044X5
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8533.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (184.31)
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
354
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the predictors
like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),
emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) of prospective teachers.
Further, the regression equation shows that general mental
alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic
achievement of prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.7281. It
can therefore be said that nearly 72.81 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of prospective teachers accounted for
whatever is measured by general mental alertness (X1), interest
in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards
teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of prospective
teachers can be taken together. The SEest for the regression
equation is 3.2014. This means that each time the regression
equation for the sample is used to predict the academic
achievement of prospective teachers, that predicted academic
achievement will not miss the actual academic achievement of
prospective teachers by more that ±3.2014.
355
The relative contribution of general mental alertness,
interest in teaching, emotional intelligence, attitude towards
teaching profession and personality on academic achievement of
prospective teachers are presented in the following table.

From the results of Table No. 4.81, it is observed that,
1. The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude
towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of
male prospective teachers are found to be positive and
significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that the
general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting or
influencing positively on academic achievement of male
prospective teachers.
2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality
(X5) on academic achievement of male prospective teachers is
found to be not significant at 0.05% level of significance.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of male prospective teachers (Y) in
terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),
emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:
Academic achievement =
23.8105+0.1863X1+0.3355X2+0.0768X3+0.1759X4-0.03964X5
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8157.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (67.22)
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
359
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of male prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the
predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) of male prospective teachers.
Further, the regression equation shows that general mental
alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic
achievement of male prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.6654. It
can therefore be said that nearly 66.54 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of male prospective teachers accounted
for whatever is measured by general mental alertness (X1),
interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude
towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of male
prospective teachers can be taken together. The SEest for the
regression equation is 3.0169. This means that each time the
regression equation for the sample is used to predict the
academic achievement of male prospective teachers, that
predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual
360
academic achievement of male prospective teachers by more that
±3.0169.

From the results of Table No. 4.85, it is observed that,
1. The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)
on academic achievement of kannada medium prospective
teachers are found to be positive and significant at 0.05%
level of significance indicating that the general mental
alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)
are impacting or influencing positively on academic
achievement of kannada medium prospective teachers.
2. The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of
kannada medium prospective teachers is found to be not
significant at 0.05% level of significance.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of kannada medium prospective

369
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8902.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (147.86)
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of kannada medium prospective teachers is possible on the basis
of the predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in
teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards
teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of kannada
medium prospective teachers. Further, the regression equation
shows that general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) can be used as predictors of
academic achievement of kannada medium prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.7921. It
can therefore be said that nearly 79.21 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of kannada medium prospective
teachers accounted for whatever is measured by general mental
alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) of kannada medium prospective teachers can be
taken together. The SEest for the regression equation is 2.9548.

From the results of Table No. 4.87, it is observed that,
1. The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude
towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of
english medium prospective teachers are found to be positive
and significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that
the general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2)
and attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting
or influencing positively on academic achievement of english
medium prospective teachers.
2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality
(X5) of English medium prospective teachers on their
academic achievement are found to be not significant at
0.05% level of significance.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of english medium prospective
teachers (Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in
teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards
teaching profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given
here:
Academic achievement =
27.2933+0.1785X1+0.4296X2+0.0356X3+0.1534X4+0.0705X5
374
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.7821.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (45.38)
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of english medium prospective teachers is possible on the basis
of the predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in
teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards
teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of English medium
prospective teachers. Further, the regression equation shows
that general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),
emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) can be used as predictors of
academic achievement of english medium prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.6117. It
can therefore be said that nearly 61.17 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of english medium prospective teachers
accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness
(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of
English medium prospective teachers can be taken together. The
SEest for the regression equation is 3.4639. This means that each
time the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the
375
academic achievement of English medium prospective teachers,
that predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual
academic achievement of English medium prospective teachers
by more that ±3.4639.
The relative contribution of general mental alertness,
interest in teaching, emotional intelligence, attitude towards
teaching profession and personality on academic achievement of
English medium prospective teachers are presented in the

in academic achievement of science prospective teachers
accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness
(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

From the results of Table No. 4.93, it is observed that,
The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3) and attitude towards teaching profession (X4)
on academic achievement of graduate prospective teachers
are found to be positive and significant at 0.05% level of
significance indicating that the general mental alertness (X1),
interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3) and
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) are impacting or

prospective teachers.
The influence of personality (X5) on academic achievement of
graduate prospective teachers is found to be not significant at

The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.8322.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (109.93)
389
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of graduate prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the
predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) of graduate prospective
teachers. Further, the regression equation shows that general

The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.6925. It
can therefore be said that nearly 69.25 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of graduate prospective teachers
accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness
(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of

From the results of Table No. 4.95, it is observed that, the
influences of independent variables such as general mental
alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) on academic achievement of postgraduate
prospective teachers are found to be positive and significant at
0.05% level of significance indicating that the general mental
alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) of postgraduate prospective teachers are
impacting or influencing positively on academic achievement.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers
(Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:
Academic achievement =
20.6450+0.3224X1+0.2022X2+0.1195X3+0.1405X4+0.0817X5
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.9669. For
testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (85.28) was
found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null hypothesis
is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted. Significant R
suggests that estimation of academic achievement of
394
postgraduate prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the
predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) of postgraduate prospective
teachers. Further, the regression equation shows that general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic
achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.9348. It
can therefore be said that nearly 93.48 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers
accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness
(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of
postgraduate prospective teachers can be taken together. The
SEest for the regression equation is 2.8546. This means that each
time the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the
academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers, that
predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual
academic achievement of postgraduate prospective teachers by
more that ±2.8546.

52. Hypothesis: General mental alertness, interest in teaching,
emotional intelligence, attitude towards teaching profession and
personality would not be significant predictors of academic
achievement of Government prospective teachers
To test this hypothesis, the multiple linear regression
analysis was performed and the results are presented in the
following table.

From the results of Table No. 4.97, it is observed that,
The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3) and personality (X5) on academic
achievement of Government prospective teachers are found to
be positive and significant at 0.05% level of significance
indicating that the general mental alertness (X1), interest in
teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards
teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of Government
prospective teachers are impacting or influencing positively on
academic achievement.
But the influence of attitude towards teaching profession (X4)
on academic achievement of Government prospective teachers
is found to be negative and significant at 0.05% level of
significance indicating that the attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) of Government prospective teachers is
impacting or influencing negatively on academic achievement.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of Government prospective teachers
(Y) in terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:
399
Academic achievement =
42.2424+0.0658X1+0.1952X2+0.0489X3-0.0309X4+0.5662X5
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.9812.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (486.89)
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of Government prospective teachers is possible on the basis of
the predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in
teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards
teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of Government
prospective teachers. Further, the regression equation shows
that general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),
emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) can be used as predictors of
academic achievement of Government prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.9628. It
can therefore be said that nearly 96.28 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of Government prospective teachers
accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness
(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of
400
Government prospective teachers can be taken together. The
SEest for the regression equation is 0.3981. This means that each
time the regression equation for the sample is used to predict the
academic achievement of Government prospective teachers, that
predicted academic achievement will not miss the actual
academic achievement of Government prospective teachers by
more that ±0.3981.
The relative contribution of general mental alertness,
interest in teaching, emotional intelligence, attitude towards
teaching profession and personality on academic achievement of
Government prospective teachers are presented in the following
table.

From the results of Table No. 4.101, it is observed that,
1. The influences of independent variables such as general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and attitude
towards teaching profession (X4) on academic achievement of
unaided prospective teachers are found to be positive and
significant at 0.05% level of significance indicating that the
general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2) and
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) of unaided
prospective teachers are impacting or influencing positively on
academic achievement.
2. The influences of emotional intelligence (X3) and personality
(X5) on academic achievement of unaided prospective
teachers is found to be not significant at 0.05% level of
significance.
Further, the multiple linear regression equation predicting
the academic achievement of unaided prospective teachers (Y) in
terms of general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2),
emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4 ) and personality (X5) was found as given here:
Academic achievement =
17.0006+0.1746X1+1.0293X2+0.0241X3+0.1917X4-0.0366X5
The multiple R of the linear regression equation is 0.9008.
For testing multiple correlation coefficients the F-ratio (102.54)
409
was found to be significant at 0.05% level. Thus, the null
hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted.
Significant R suggests that estimation of academic achievement
of unaided prospective teachers is possible on the basis of the
predictors like general mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching
(X2), emotional intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching
profession (X4) and personality (X5) of Unaided prospective
teachers. Further, the regression equation shows that general
mental alertness (X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional
intelligence (X3), attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and
personality (X5) can be used as predictors of academic
achievement of unaided prospective teachers.
The coefficient of multiple determination of R2 is 0.8116. It
can therefore be said that nearly 81.16 percent of the variation
in academic achievement of unaided prospective teachers
accounted for whatever is measured by general mental alertness
(X1), interest in teaching (X2), emotional intelligence (X3),
attitude towards teaching profession (X4) and personality (X5) of
unaided prospective teachers can be taken together. The SEest for
the regression equation is 3.6065. This means that each time the
